Spotify Pulls Vulpeck's Silent "Sleepify"Album, Band Issues Response

Spotify has deleted indie band Vulpeck's silent "Sleepify" album for violating its terms of service. The release, which contained no sound at all, would have reportedly netted the band $20,000 from plays of "the most silent album ever recorded" by fans and supporters who often left Spotify running all night while they slept.

In a recorded response to Spotify, posted there as a new release dubbed "Official Statement", the band said they had just been contacted by the music streamer and jokingly asked for "30 seconds of silence to ponder the uncertainty."
